!' aiEART OF THE WORLD
I It may be right, as it certainly is a fact, that a consid-.
eraDie portion 01 America wouia HKe to see the uarpentier
Dempsey fight for the heavy-weight championship of the
world. You can't get it out of their system they will ad
mire brawn as long as the race is able to hold its head above
its shoulders.
i There are two subsidiary conditions about this match
that they'd like to see: A legal limitation to the purses and
the ticket prices, a limit that would knock out these half-minion-dollar
fights for all time. Now is not the time to even
aljow any nation to run riot on such an extravagance. And
for the first time in American history, perhaps a majority
of the people of America would like to see the foreign chal
lenger win.
.) Maybe he cant do it; he has a hard battle in sight.
Dempsey the shipworker was safe enough to keep himself in
trim for a hundred years during the war; Carpentier was a
soldier of the cleanest strain and he was wounded so that
it was believed he would never again be able to enter the
ring. He has handicapped himself by his decent bravery.
American-national pride has to hold its nose and avert its
eyes in the presence of the safe shipyard champion.
, When the two huge gladiators, Willard and Dempsey,
were so valiantly staying at home out of bullet range and
fighting for Red Cross beneiits ana qiner painouc cnau
Hies, they earned the boot and the ax and the contempt of
the whole fighting world; there were a few genuine fighters,
pike Mike O'Dowd and Carpentier, who were willing to take
!a chance at the front for soldier's wages instead of playing
1 safe for; hundred-thousand-dollar purses at the rear. The

The Democratic press through
out the country seems to be wor
ried lest President Harding uuike
some mistake in handling the
many Important subjects that en
nage his attention. Their solici

House Airedale smile visibly.
The enforcement of the dry law
and all other laws is every body's
business. Laxness in the enforce
ment or one iaw leads to laxness
:n the enrorcement ot all laws
and that leads to Bolshevism and
the dusty ways or the I. W. W.
L'very officer sworn to enforce
law should have It distinctly un
derstood that every decent man
and woman is behind him; more
over, that every decent man and
woman expects him to prove true
to his oath of office. It is to be
hoped that it may not be neces
sary to listen to a loud voice
heard on every side demanding
the recall of some officers sus
pected of being unfaithful to their
oaths.
CX)LLKGK$ AND MOVIES.
Thomas A. Edison's statement
that he has found college men
amazingly ignorant has prompted
a number of educators to submit
4 refutation of the remark. Tbe
inventor was attempting some
classification of his assistants in
his laboratories and said that the
college graduates were disappoint
ing. He qualified It, however, by
blaming the whole School sys
tem. He thinks it is wrong from
the ground up. The primary
school seeks to impress the mind
with the spoken word or the in
volved thought when better and
more lasting results could be bad
iy reaching the eye with a motion
picture, A child learns quickly
and does not easily forget when
taught through the medium of tbe
eye. If our. colleges could be
turned Into movies of the Sen
sett bathing beaaties the young
'dea could be taught to shoot at
tbe. rate of 90 miles an hour.
Edison is strong for his own in
vention and would urge Its more
extended application. Let the
movies take the place . of our
schools and colleges and we'll all
get wise. Exchange.
COMEDY TURXS TRAGEDY.
The destruction Dy fire of
Charlie Chaplin's ancient but be
loved pants comes as near being
s national tragedy as anything
that has happened since William
Jennings Bryan was defeated tor
the presidency. Those volumin
ous trousers have been the joy of
millions. The Kohinoor or the
Star of India was as nothing to
the Chaplin pants. They might
not have been a thing of beauty,
but they at least promised to be
come a Joy forever. And now
they tell us they are no more. A
careless moment with a cigerette
or something a flash, a blaze
and nothing much left but ashes.
That the trousers were occupied
by the comedian at the time was
unfortunate. ' There might have
been greater tragedy. But our
Prince Charlie was spared and
restored. We fear it may not
be the same with the Chaplin
pants. Men in Grand Rapids who
are making rugs from ancient
Persia may- contrive something
that will answer for screen pur
poses, but they will not be the
real thing. The Chaplin pants
were a decoration more distin
guished than the Golden Fleece,
and were worthy of a place amid
the archives of the nation. If
the ashes are to be found they
should be placed in a suitable
urn or else cast In loving cere
monial npon the waves of the
blue Pacific. We are also curi
ous to know if the camera caught

gave them from 400 to GOO francs
each, when discharging them as
temporary employes and then,
according to an imaginative con

Senator Pelisse, the government
said to the employes:
"What would roti say If I were
to keep you, beginning tomorrow,

get the same wages. Do you ac

fmployes, "but must we give back
the bonus?"
"Oh. no,' answered the gov

generous. You have the bonus.
Keep it. You are discharged, but
remain with us."
